Based on last week's chat, it seems like interest is ramping up again for Illinois volleyball ... Kevin Hambly's squad certainly dominated the conversation. So Scott Richey will be back at it again at 2 p.m. Tuesday, tackling any Illini volleyball questions you might have. Women's basketball and baseball are always good topics. Illini soccer, too. The same "rules" apply per usual.

University of Illinois trustees today are expected to sign off on amendments to three UI head coaches' contracts. In addition to more years for wrestling's Jim Heffernan and more money for gymnastics' Kim Landrus and Justin Spring, all three deals include provisions for "90 percent of the net profit of any camps and clinics" operated by the UI.

CHAMPAIGN — Everything from hot dogs to buffets for athletes to fancy desserts in luxury suites will be provided by a private company at Illini sports venues starting this fall, if several multimillion-dollar contracts under consideration are approved.

That’s what Ramogi Huma, executive director of the National College Players Association, did when he called on UI Chancellor Phyllis Wise to essentially “fire ’em all.” Fire the athletic director, four coaches and two trainers.

That would be laughable if it didn’t go viral in so many uninformed precincts.

Versatile staff writer Scott Richey has plenty on his plate, even in mid-July. What's the latest with the women's basketball scandal at Illinois? How is volleyball prepping for the 2015 season? Will Tyler Jay pitch in the majors this season? Our expert is chatting at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, so get your questions in early.
